Church on Sunday, March 10, is being cancelled. Now you won’t have to worry about being late because you didn’t set your clock ahead on Saturday night!

Please see attached for the March 2019 Encounter.

Within this Encounter you will find the recently-updated Fellowship serving list for 2019

Please feel free to contact the Church office if you have any questions about the schedule. The duties will be listed in each month’s newsletter and are also included in the bulletin every week. The Church office also strives to contact members via email or phone (if you don’t have an email address on file) to help make sure everyone is notified in a timely manner of their opportunities to serve.
